I got hyped by the TV series so I will play the game for the first time (yes, I know, it took this long). I usually prefer to buy GOG version of a game but I saw the rating of FO4 GOG at 3.9/5. Why is that? I have read somewhere that there is technical issue of some sort which includes modding for GOG version? I expected higher gamer rating for FO4 in GOG but a lower rating typically indicates for me some genuine issues.
Edit: also the GOG Version says it does not include the Creation Club. What is it and is it in some way better than using Nexus mods?
I'm doing the same thing! I saw GOTY edition on sale with no DRM and went for it, even though I own the standard version on Steam already.
I wanted to start a modded playthrough and I usually use Mod Organizer 2, so there were a few quirks I had to work through. For instance, Mod Configuration Menu needed a launch option for F4SE (-forcesteamloader) due to some hidden dependency that never pops up for Steam players.
Once I got everything sorted, it's working great! Sim Settlements 2 is a literal game changer. More DLC than mod.
